The Bottom Line


1969:
One might consider the idea of veganism easily entering the imagination, but if it seems impossible, too painful, too daunting, then it’s likely we’ll shake it off. We’ll ditch the whole idea.



Even if one had to contemplate a vegan lifestyle and had read a couple of books about it, it might still remain beyond the pale. Why, for example, would we voluntarily opt for living ‘vegan’ if the pleasure of it wasn’t obvious? You’d surely agree, that if you can’t come at ‘being vegan’ you can never be of much help to the animals, because if you’re not vegan it follows that you’re still eating them or their by-products, and therefore condoning what happens to them. How could you ever trust yourself? How could the animals ever trust you to be their spokesperson? You’d be quite the traitor if you were still helping to kill them whilst trying to save them.
